Yes [del]EA[/del] Ubisoft, run that shit straight into the fucking ground and wonder what happened after watching the twisted flaming wreckage of your failure.

Ubisoft makes Assassins Creed.

[QUOTE=Tea Guy;38238304]Yes EA, run that shit straight into the fucking ground and wonder what happened after watching the twisted flaming wreckage of your failure.[/QUOTE] Are you serious? EA? [b]Edit:[/b] Also, I'm wondering if you're able to get ingame-currency through gameplay only. If so, it's not as bad, but it's not a fine way either.

So selling power pretty much? Wait to go Ubi.

I dunno if I'm down with this. It smells like buying power.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;38238339]Ubisoft's publishing AC3, not EA[/QUOTE] Whoops, my bad :suicide:

It's pretty much buying power early. People that don't pay can still access it, but it will take longer. Only a couple steps away from P2W though.

Erudito sounds like a dumb ass name :v:

Hello i'm the internet and i don't care who published what as long as i can name someone i don't like and throw a tantrum about things that i don't like

[QUOTE=Greenen72;38238602]Hello i'm the internet and i don't care who published what as long as i can name someone i don't like and throw a tantrum about things that i don't like[/QUOTE] Well to be fair a few years ago Day 1 DLC was almost unheard of, I think it's a load of bullshit. Expansion packs that added massive amounts of content was all there was and even then they weren't conceived until months after release.

I would honestly enjoy it if something (bad) happens to whoever's responsible for all of those retarded marketing moves we've seen from Ubisoft for the past couple of years.

Omg everybody knows ea is the only publisher guys. Stop being ignorant!

Definitely waiting a month before buying, if I buy. Hopefully it's like in AC2 at least.

Wait. people can purchase in game money with real world dollars? wont this fuck up the multiplayer? allowing players to essentially buy power? Unless its a side grade system much like TF2?

I guess it's a good thing I don't have interest in multiplayer of the AC series.

If this is for singleplayer I'm fine. Otherwise fuck off ubisoft.

i really don't care since i know i'm not going to waste my money on this crap

There is seriously never an article about Ubisoft or EA that any gamer likes. HOW? HOW CAN YOU BE SO BAD?

Erudito Credits Best name for currency ever.

Who plays AC for the online anyway? I always looked on it as a bonus.

Why do all games nowadays need DLC. Just ship the game with it all for fucks sake

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;38238955]Who plays AC for the online anyway? I always looked on it as a bonus.[/QUOTE] This. I'm definitely never playing it online now, not when it's gonna be full of people who paid $20 to shortcut to getting all the best items and armor.
